I used the tail tie down loop thingie to winch a Piper Saratoga for years.
No problems. As someone else mentioned, the jacking procedure is to put a
weight on that loop to hold it down, then use two jacks under the wings to
lift all three wheels off the ground. So that loop is pretty dang stout. I
wouldn't use it to pull tree stumps, but winching from it is fine.

Hi,

Is it ok to pull my Piper Archer by the tail hook back into the hanger?
Does any one know if that will cause any damage?
